	Sniffing around the 'net, I found these modelines, as per the spec:

#DTV-StandardModes

ModeLine "ATSC-1080-60p" 148.5 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125

you probably want 
ModeLine "ATSC-480-59.94p" 23.916 640 664 736 760 480 484 492 525
for 480p and 
ModeLine "ATSC-1080-59.94i" 74.176 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 Intelace
for 1080i

I plan to build a VGA component video "transcoder" when I amass the parts and 
ambition.
